Pollen morphology of Verbascum L. (Scrophulariaceae) in Northern and Central Iraq2014 •
The present study highlights the taxonomic values of the pollen features of 20 species of Verbascum L. in Iraq. The pollen grains were acetolysed and observed under Light and Electron microscopes. Our results showed that the pollen grains of these species are usually radially symmetrical, isopolar, tricolporate and display reticulate sculpturing. The variations were found in shape, size, and exine thickness. Most of the species are subprolate, prolate spheroidal, and prolate, whereas oblate spheroidal pollens were found only in V. thapsus. The pollen size among the species studied ranges from 16.2-32.5 µm. The majority of species are medium sized except V. agrimoniifolium and V. oreophilum that are small sized, and four species i.e. V. palmyrense, V. sinuatum, V. songaricum, and V. thapsus having both small and medium sized pollen grains. Moreover, the result showed that the exine thickness ranges from 0.87-4.75 µm, but this value can overlap between some species. Therefore, only th...

Moreover, the result showed that the exine thickness ranges from 0.87-4.75 µm, but this value can overlap between some species. Therefore, only the shape of pollen grains could be used to classify these species into groups.
A new species, Scrophularia amadiyana is described and illustrated. It resembles S. gracilis Blakelock in habit but can be differentiated by its glandular-pubescent, oblong calyx lobes which are without scarious margins, smaller glandular capsules and seeds that are longitudinally ridged and obscurely pitted. The species is known so far from a single location in Iraq growing on mountain slopes in Kurdistan where it is reported to be frequent, and is assessed here as Data Deficient.
El-Husseini, N. & Shamso, E. 2002. The pollen atlas of the flora of Egypt. 5. Species of Scrophulariaceae. Taeckholmia 22(1): 65-76. Light and scanning electron microscope study of the pollen grains of 47 species representing 16 genera of Scrophulariaceae in Egypt was carried out. Pollen grains vary from subspheroidal to prolate; trizonocolpate to trizonocolporate. Exine's sculpture is striate, colliculate, granulate, coarse reticulate or microreticulate. Seven pollen types are recognized and briefly described, a key distinguishing the different pollen types and the discussion of its systematic value are provided.

The pollen morphology ofOdontites (Scrophulariaceae) and its taxonomic significance1990 •

The marble kioniskos derives from a confiscation at Plana, Chalcidice. On its front side a relief group of an eagle with a bull’s head is depicted, while on the perimeter is an oak wreath decorated with precious stones. The wavy incisions above the center of the wreath can briefly ascribe the extreme elements of a thunderbolt, which is particularly significant as a portent (διοσημία). A small round deepening on the center of the upper surface was possibly intended for placing worship offerings. In votive monuments from Macedonia, the depiction of the eagle with a bull’s head is verified by inscriptions as related to the worship of Zeus Hypsistos. In the particular representation though, where the indication of a rosette is possibly identified on the head of the bull, allows for the identification of an emblematic representation, where along with the sacrificed animal the eagle is depicted in the place of the god. The new element the kioniskos presents is the combination of the group eagle - bull’s head with the oak wreath decorated with precious stones. The practice of the depiction of priests and priestesses bearing wreaths with leaves of the sacred plant of the deity they served is recognized in their portraits during the Roman era, while the wreath decorated with precious stones refers to the practice of honoring Roman officers. Moreover, kioniskoi represent a type of votive monuments dedicated by the priests themselves. All the above lead to the hypothesis that the person who offered the kioniskos, an officer more probably, who also practiced the hieratic duties of the worship of the god, is using the wreath decorated with precious stones as an insignium of his authority, in order to demonstrate his hieratic office and his religious morals in the local society, in which he was a member. The simple stylistic formulation of the central representation and of the leaves of the wreath, placed in the context of a local production of votive monuments without any particular artistic capabilities, can tentatively place the monument in the 2nd c. A.D.

Book Review of Toward a Pentecostal Theology of Worship2019 •
A unified theology of worship from the Pentecostal perspective seems to be a daunting task given that Pentecostals value what Lee Roy Martin describes as “spontaneity and liberty” in worship over more formulaic liturgies. Nevertheless, Martin praises the creativity of the diverse voices that contribute fifteen essays to theological reflection on the topic and challenges the reader to identify a continuity in thought and shared ethos among the various contributors. The general characterization of Pentecostal worship in this book is consistent with the universal function of worship as theocentric praise and anthropological service to God. However, three overarching convictions can be discerned that demonstrate a shared Pentecostal ethos: (1) an expectation of divine encounter in the context of worship, (2) an anticipation of a personal and/or communal transformative experience in worship, and (3) an emphasis on the Spirit as the agent of encounter and transformation in the context of the Pentecostal worship service. The contributors to the book under review identify the worship service as the sacred space where Pentecostals practice their distinctive doctrines of the Holy Spirit.
Análise Econômica
Política Monetária, Expectativas e Derivativos: Uma Análise Do Brasil No Período 1995-98O artigo discute os impactos das informações geradas pelos derivativos de taxas de juros sobre a condução da política monetária no Brasil no período 1995-98, sob o regime do câmbio fixo. Parte-se da tese que a taxa de juros de longo prazo é determinada pelo nível da taxa de juros básica de curto prazo (taxa spot), à qual se adicionam as expectativas a respeito do seu comportamento no futuro (taxas a termo esperadas) e um prêmio de risco determinado (a) pelos custos de transação associados às migrações de portfólios; (b) grau de confiança nas expectativas a respeito do comportamento futuro da taxa de juros de curto prazo; (c) data de realização do investimento; (d) grau de disposição a correr risco de capital; e (e) duração do portfólio. O artigo mostra que a inclusão de derivativos tende a volatilizar as expectativas quando o ambiente econômico é percebido como mais instável, levando à imposição de maiores prêmios de risco, intensificando os efeitos das crises de confiança e, com is...
